[Dynamics of the changes in thyroid gland parenchyma on thyrocalcitonin administration]. 1978

G V Khomullo, and L D Sandomirskaia

Experiments were conducted on rats; a study was made of the effect of thyrocalcitonin (TCT) administration--5 Units a day--on thyroid gland. TCT administration during the first 5 days led to structural-functional reconstruction of the gland and activation of the synthesis and elimination of the iodine-containing hormones. Prolonged action of the iodine-containing hormones. Prolonged action of TCT (for 20 days) caused hypofunction of the gland, suppression of endogenous TCT production; it also intensified connective tissue proliferation, and destructive focal changes of the thyroid parenchyma.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.

D013961 Thyroid Gland A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.
